Cold cold change, we were so excited   But you came and went so soon   Cold cold change, we were not invited   We smiled all the while we were taken in      Cold cold change, bringing in the winter   Freezing up the water, closing up the mind   One more danger, gonna have to deal with   One last moment fading all the time      But no lasting change, well we were turned around   We jumped in the air to see over the wall   No master plan, it's a bad design   Significant time in spite of us all      Cold cold change, we were so excited   Waiting on the outside, waiting to begin   Left us all angry and bewildered   Laughing at the way we were taken in      You better lock the door, turn it off (the light)   We'll leave the nights alone, better keep me hoping   That the change is over, the ice is gone   And when the weather's warmer you can hear me shouting yeah
